Lightbend's Reactive Platform

Lightbend's Reactive Platform is one of the popular technology stacks that support the FRP paradigm. Lightbend is one of the initiators of the Reactive Streams Specification. This platform has a Reactive microservice framework known as the Lagom framework.

The Lagom framework uses Scala, Play, and Akka Toolkit to develop Reactive systems, Reactive Web Applications, or Reactive microservices. It is a pure FRP Solution.

The Akka Toolkit has an API known as the Akka Streams API, which implements the Reactive Streams Specification.

In this book, we will use this technology stack to develop our Reactive system. Go through subsequent chapters to understand how to easily develop data streaming applications using Akka Streams and how to develop Reactive microservices using the Lagom framework.
